      We snatched a girl from down below Up to our tower, where shadows grow We dance, as knowledge we seek Her tiny bones might soon speak
      
      Rattle the bones, our prize so sweet A child's secrets we're eager to meet Did she survive our sky-high lair? Soon we'll know, if she's still there
      
      Knowledge is power, and power we crave From those we've taken, from cradle to grave The girl's last moments, a mystery still But soon her bones might bend to our will
